?The Tremec T56 for the XR6 sedan is the same transmission introduced at BA MkII on XR6 Turbo and XR8 models, but with a new set of ratios, optimised using Computer Aided Engineering to suit the naturally-aspirated Barra 190 engine,? Postgate said.

A new variant of the Tremec T56 gearbox, with unique ratios specific to the XR6, will replace the existing T5 five-speed unit.

?The dedicated ratios provide the optimum balance between performance and economy. The lower 1st gear improves launch feel and performance, while the additional top gear ratio reduces engine rpm at highway speeds, contributing to a reduction in fuel consumption.?
The T56 unit employed in the XR6 delivers improvements in shift quality courtesy of revisions introduced at BA MkII, as it has all the same features and advantages as the T56 transmission used on the XR6 Turbo, including:
- Double synchros on all six forward gears
- Linear bearings on the shift rail
- Direct shifter linkage
- Electronic reverse gear lockout (controlled by the PCM)
- Reverse gear synchro
?The introduction of the six-speed manual on XR6 sedan, in conjunction with the option of the new ZF six-speed auto, adds a further performance touch to complete the XR range of performance sedans,? Postgate said.
